Description
The LEE Ultimate Turret Press Kit for 9mm Luger is the heavy-duty evolution of the beloved Lee turret line, and it shows the moment you start running the lever. This version keeps the powerful Big Press compound linkage along with Lee's circumferential tool head support, so the turret stays locked in place with no tipping or wander. That perimeter support is the big deal here, it keeps your dies in perfect alignment through every stroke, which is exactly what you want when you're loading pistol rounds by the hundreds. The all-steel base and ram shrug off the heavy work, and the through-ram primer disposal routes spent primers away from the base to keep grit and crud out of the works.
What Sets the Ultimate Turret Press Apart
The auto-indexing is the heart of the operation. Every pull of the lever automatically advances the 5-hole turret to the next die station, turning a handful of movements into a finished round. The index mechanism is overload protected and built around a single moving part, and if you ever damage the drive clutch it swaps out in seconds without tools. The final positioning comes from a shot pin on the ram, so the tool head lands dead-on every time. Ergonomics are dialed in too, with a balanced lever and roller handle grip that stays smooth over long sessions and won't drop and pinch a finger.
Everything in the 9mm Luger Kit
This is a complete package, not just a press. You get the Lee Breech Lock 3-die set for 9mm with a carbide full-length sizing die (no case lube needed), a powder-through expanding die, and a bullet seating die with load data. The Deluxe Auto-Drum powder measure handles consistent charges, the Safety Scale verifies them, and the Safety Prime system lets you seat small and large primers right on the press. Round it out with the Medium Inline Bullet Feed Magazine to speed up seating, plus a bin and bracket to catch finished rounds and a caliber change wrench.
For anyone moving up from a single-stage press or stepping into reloading for the first time, this kit covers the whole workflow in one box. Proudly made in the USA, it's the kind of gear that earns a permanent spot on your bench.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Ultimate Turret Press Kit auto-index?
Yes. Every downstroke of the lever automatically advances the turret to the next die station, so you cycle through sizing, charging, and seating with simple strokes. The index mechanism is overload protected and built around a single moving part, and the drive clutch can be replaced in seconds without tools if it's ever damaged.
Do I need to buy dies separately for 9mm Luger?
No. This kit includes the Lee Breech Lock 3-die set for 9mm Luger, which comes with a carbide full-length sizing die, a powder-through expanding die, a bullet seating die, and instructions with load data. The carbide sizing die means you don't have to lube your cases when loading 9mm.
How is the Ultimate Turret Press different from the Classic Turret Press?
The Ultimate is the all-steel, heavier-duty step up. It uses the Big Press compound toggle linkage along with a steel tool carrier and circumferential perimeter support, which keeps the dies from tipping and holds alignment better under heavy use. It also features through-ram primer disposal to route spent primers away from the base.
Can I load other calibers on this press later?
Yes. The press accepts standard 7/8 x 14 threaded dies and uses Lee Breech Lock bushings for quick die changes. To run a different caliber you'll want the appropriate die set and shell holder, and swapping turrets or dies is a straightforward job with the included caliber change wrench.
